Murray to win US Open?

SouthLand's picture

I guess there is a chance for some sort of redemption after not making it to the Wimbledon finals.

Would be awesome, but despite having a good record against Federer (2-1 I think) I think he'll find it one 'big match' too far.

SouthLand said tallg ...

Off the top, I would agree. Although, I think Roger has one eye on retirement. Nadal found the chink in his armour and now Nadal is ousted by Murray. Seems like the king of the courts' reign is ending.

nadal is still young. Murray just found out his weak backhand.

Should be interesting.

Even though he's a Brit, I think that federer will be too much for him.. Federer has restd an extra day and knows how to handle the pressure of the big finals..

You never know though!

I know, but Murray looked so promising. I think he was jinxed by the "Murray Mount" comments.

For now, I'm still for Federer.

Federer all the way!

I'd have been much happier had this been a Federer-Nadal final.

New people winning Grand Slams (and even getting to finals) is always good for the sport. If the same one or two people (or teams) dominate a sport it soon gets boring.

My vote for Federer. Will Fed get his No. 1 position, if he win this title?

Oh hey guys SE Championships will be in Doha Nov. 4 - 9. Top 8 players..

At least something to look forward to.. ;)

Tallg, that's true. But then again Federer and Schumacher were such great champions, I'd never want to see them lose.

As a matter of fact, Nadal is a great ambassador of Tennis. Despite losing the semis earlier today, he went on to sign autographs for his fans! That says a lot about him.

I have a question about Nadal. Why doesn't he wear a better underwear? or does he wear a thong?

Don't think so FS. He's too far behind Nadal.

janeyjaney said Rayyz ...

Are you that interested in Nadal?? LOL

Nadal is such a good sport! No wonder he has a lot of endorsements!

Dream on...
Although Murry is playing exceptionally well but Federer would win..

I thought he bounced the ball 20 times before serving, that brouch him luck.

Hmm... I think someone likes to see that luck bit everytime he serves. Maybe its for the public! LOL

janeyjaney Im beginning to worry about you. Especially since we're such good chums and are so "free" with each other.

Something you want to tell me hun?

janeyjaney's picture

janeyjaney said Rayyz.. ...

For glamour? I only watch it here in Doha cos it's free. Nothing glamorous about that. LOL

I enjoy looking left to right, right to left.. it's really fun. LOL

 

rayyz's picture

rayyz said Janeyjaney ...

You can give the same sensation to your neck muscles when the tennis season is not on in Doha. Get a center seat in first row of cinema for an action movie! :)

rayyz said Janeyjaney ...

Yeah you bet! 66 and over aged groups having bad experiences at cinema houses in Doha. Can you imagine what young people like us might be going through? :(

Mind you - I only know it's on at 10.00 p.m. and I think that's UK time, so midnight here :(

janeyjaney said Rayyz ...

Hahahaha! I don't know if you're being sarcastic or what but I'll just laugh at what you said.. regardless.

Jauntie.. midnight?? No replays??

rayyz said Jauntie : Yup it's midnite ...

Jauntie : Yup it's midnite QST! Don't know which channel would air it LIVE. I watch it on Tensports relayed from India :)

Janeyjaney : That was just to reconfirm your age bracket! :P LOL. Midnite isn't too late, its Ramadan. Day begins at 8 PM! :D

I knew Fed would win!! Against Andy Murray?? Not a chance for him hey!! ;)

 

rayyz's picture

rayyz said Janeyjaney ...

Oh yeah! The final set would've been ever more one-sided. Federer was leading 5-0 at one point. He sat on the sidelines thinking about the trophy already and Murray got a chance to serve out two services games with a barrage of Aces! LOL

Was going thru my previous posts. Just realized I've been trying to setup an anti-Murray camp!

Nothing like that honestly, I love Fedex's game so much that I'd have blasted anyone else who played him in the finals. Federer, despite so much success, he still is a great player, nice person, perhaps one of the most well behaved on court and a great ambassador for the game! Isn't he?
